Definitions

  • the invention relates to a blanket sleeve for a channelless Blanket cylinder of an offset printing machine.
  • Finite printing blankets are used in rotary printing presses Printing cylinders are clamped in such a way that a axially running clamping point arises, which is dead for the printing process Represents zone.
  • Blanket sleeves proposed that an axial clamping channel is not need.
  • a blanket sleeve is known, the one dimensionally stable carrier sleeve made of plastic or a metallic material has seamless cylindrical layers of elastic materials, are preferably constructed of rubber. It will therefore be a completely split and seamless blanket sleeve created axially over the blanket cylinder is pushed and fixed. Clamping a printing blanket is not necessary.
  • a gap-free rubber blanket sleeve which on a cylindrical carrier sleeve a seamlessly applied, cellular, compressible Has elastomer layer.
  • This cellular compressible layer is made by a surrounded in the circumferential direction not stretchable layer. It is on the very outside known elastomeric printing layer. Due to the non-stretchable layer the cellular, compressible layer is a kind of bandage. This bandage limits the deformation that occurs in the rolling contact during printing due to an increase in the shear stiffness of the compressible layer.
  • the circumferential direction of the non-stretchable layer is due to the preload the shear stiffness of the blanket sleeve while its placement below a shift of the outer printing layer in Circumferential direction, that is, a bead structure or a curvature effective in derogation.
  • the manufacture of the rubber blanket sleeve is not due to the application of the stretchy layer very expensive.
  • the compressibility of the blanket sleeve is influenced by the properties of the bandage. Because of not avoidable tolerance regarding the winding tension of the bandage there is insufficient consistency in the product properties. For a better print quality is a more uniform production of the To strive for blanket sleeve.
  • the invention has for its object a rubber sleeve of the beginning described type to create a good with less effort Print quality enables avoiding a bead build or Buckling during the rolling contact of the outer printing layer.
  • the compressible elastomer layer usually contains gas-filled cavities which, by compressing the enclosed gas, bring about the compressibility of the entire structure.
  • the number and size of the gas bubbles are set so that the compressibility is between 7% and 15% at a load of 100 N / cm 2 (test according to DIN 16 621). This is the relative compressibility, which represents the average decrease in thickness, based on the actual thickness, in%, for the load cycle defined by DIN standard 16 621.
  • the rubber matrix of the compressible layer i.e. the rubber mixture without considering the cavities in it, has a tension value of at least 2.2 N / mm 2 and at most 15 N / mm 2 at 100% elongation (test according to DIN 53 504).
  • the microporous contains Elastomer layer materials that increase strength. These materials are used at incorporated into the production of the compressible layer. By strength-increasing materials in the microporous elastomer layer The shear stiffness of this layer can be interpreted variably.
  • strength-increasing materials mixed in short fibers or embedded Fleeces are already in the manufacture of the rubber compound for the microporous layer mixed in.
  • the short fibers increase the Shear stiffness of the compressible layer over that known from elastomers Measure beyond.
  • the microporous layer is a woven fabric, a film or a knitted fabric appropriate.
  • This layer can be used as a support for during production the microporous layer act and at the same time with the interposition of a suitable adhesion promoter for a good connection to the metallic Provide carrier sleeve. This way the elaborate separation of microporous layer and receiving medium before the actual coating of the Carrier sleeve avoided.
  • the invention provides a blanket sleeve, which without an outer Bandage around the compressible layer gets along and still one ensures sufficient shear rigidity of the compressible layer.
  • the shear stiffness compressible layer further increased. It will also be the same time Material dampening increases, causing the rubber sleeve to vibrate it supporting blanket cylinder in the press can dampen well.
  • the blanket sleeve 11 shown in detail in FIG. 1 has one existing metallic support sleeve 12.
  • This Carrier sleeve 12 can consist of a steel sheet or nickel sheet.
  • this carrier sleeve 12 On this carrier sleeve 12 is a thin in a seamless cylindrical arrangement Layer of a rubber-metal coupling agent 13 applied, over the one microporous elastomer layer 14 is bound with closed pores.
  • the Adhesion promoter 13 is chosen so that it has optimal adhesion between the , Carrier sleeve 12 and the compressible layer 14 mediated. Typical values are between 2 N / mm and 5 N / mm separation strength, measured based on DIN 53 530.
  • the compressible layer 14 contains gas-filled cavities that pass through Compression of the enclosed gas the compressibility of the Effect blanket sleeve.
  • the number and size of the bubbles are so set that the compressibility in the range between 7% and 15%, measured in accordance with DIN 16 621.
  • the shear stiffness of the compressible layer is designed so that a stiffening bandage over it is not necessary.
  • the rubber matrix was selected so that its tension value at 100% elongation is greater than 2.2 N / mm 2 and less than 15 N / mm 2 .
  • this microporous elastomer layer 14 On the outer circumference of this microporous elastomer layer 14 is a thin one Layer 15 of adhesive rubber applied.
  • adhesive rubber typically Rubber solutions based on nitrile rubber are used.
  • Adhesive rubber layer 15 is the decisive one for the printing process Cover rubber layer 16 tied with a ground surface.
  • This Cover rubber layer 16 can have a thickness of approximately 0.3 mm.
  • the modified blanket sleeve 11 shown in detail in FIG. 2 has an additional, rubberized fabric layer 18 that between the carrier sleeve 12 and the microporous elastomer layer 14 is introduced.
  • the connection of the rubberized fabric layer 18 to the carrier sleeve 12 is by means of a thin Layer of a rubber-metal coupling agent 13 causes.
  • On the other outside The surface is the fabric layer 18 with a thin layer 19 of one suitable adhesive rubber covered for the connection of the microporous Elastomer layer 14 ensures.
  • the rubber blanket sleeve 11 shown in FIG. 3 differs from the two Embodiments described above in that the microporous Elastomer layer 14 contains reinforcing short fibers 21 which are within the Distribute the microporous elastomer layer 14 substantially uniformly. This increases the strength of the microporous elastomer layer 14 achieved. The shear stiffness is also higher than that of elastomers known measure increased.
